Story
What we are doing
As a team we have entered ourselves into a car rally across Europe starting in Lille, France and ending 1500miles later in Budapest, Hungary. There are however some distinct rules with regards to this rally that make it more of a challenge than it appears. For starters this rally SHOULD be completed in just four short days. Secondly there are tasks to be completed along the way to slow us down. Finally the whole thing must be done in a car bought for under £250 so reliability is very unlikely.
The concept - A Banger Rally
Essentially a banger rally is a collection of vehicles that have been purchased or otherwise obtained through various ingenious methods, and then personalised in a variety of glorious and imaginative ways. Ideas range from the Bat Mobile, animals of various denominations, pirate ships to hippy cars, tanks, and crazy paint jobs.
However, that is the nuts and bolts; doing up the car is incredibly fun but driving it across is where the real challenge begins.
The reality
Don’t be fooled, this is no holiday. The rally is bound to be extremely fun but it's also a great challenge. Obstacles are part and parcel of the rally and the bond with fellow driver/s can only be described as a two year relationship rolled into four days.
Why Cancer Research?
The answer to this question is obvious. Everyone has been in close contact with cancer at some point and it can have a devestating effect on lives. Until cancer is understood fully, charities such as Cancer Research need the help of the general public.
